'Divinity Online'. The new breakthrough in the Full-Immersion Virtual Reality technology. After decades of work, Divinity Corp had achieved the impossible. Creating a massive video game world that people can enter and live in as if it were Earth. Their goal was clear, to create a world other than Earth that we can call home.


A place where the laws of reality vanish, and the true ceiling of power shifts completely.


Naturally, the shockwave Divinity Online created across the entire globe was unlike anything else. Every single person has heard of it, even those who have had no interest in video games before.


Giant corporations and even governments immediately rushed to start planning to invest in this new world and just like that, billions of people had their eyes on one single date: the 19th of July.

Arthur, like everyone else, had heard of the game and was as excited as everyone else to try it, if not even more. With how much he grew bored of his life on earth, this fantasy world was like the divine call he had been searching for. However, there was a very small problem.


He had no money to buy the machine required to access Divinity Online. His wretched life had turned him into a broke teenager with no parents, and no relatives. But, by some kind of luck, he got his hands on one of those machines.

Not knowing what was awaiting him in that world, Arthur was simply seeking one thing... A new opportunity in life and to find a purpose he could work for when he had none so far.


[Welcome to 'Divinity Online'.]

My SSS-Rank Class Is Blood Monarch!

Jumping up, the Yeti shoved its hand into its stomach, desperately trying to pull the fire out. Its screams of pain and agony heightened as it struggled to extinguish the flames. Eventually, what Arthur expected happened.

The sound of ice cracking and spreading inside the monster echoed in the vicinity. The layers of ice slowly ate away at the monster's organs, covering them like wildfire. The monster felt its body freeze up quickly.

The pain from that feeling was unimaginable—a mix of horrendous burning and brutal cold filled its entire torso.

Arthur watched as the monster slowly burned and froze to death, fighting against the unbearable pain.

"Get that… bastard," he muttered, grabbing his injured back with squinted eyes. 'That hurts. It almost peeled my back off,' he thought. "But… the fact it has such an ability… This game always surprises me. Really bad surprises."
